Teaching Methodology/Strategy
- Lecture/Discussion 3. Board Work 5. Quizzes/Term Exam
- Visual Aid 4. Assignments/ seat works
Grading System:
Computation of the Final Grade:
Term Grade (MTG/FTG) = 40% (Assignments + Seat works + Quizzes) + 60% Term Exam
Final Grade (FG) = 1/3 Midterm Grade + 2/3 Final Term Exam
Raw/Equivalent Score and Grade Distribution
Grade Raw/Equivalent Score Grade Raw/Equivalent Score
1.0 97 – 100 2.25 68 – 73
1.25 92 – 96 2.5 62 – 67
1.50 86 – 91 2.75 56 – 61
1.75 80 – 85 3.0 50 – 55
2.0 74 – 79 5.0 0 – 49
Percentage Passing = 50% (NO REMOVAL EXAM)
